Multiple festival BEST FILM and BEST SOUNDTRACK winner, LET IT RIDE takes you on a moving journey with a world-class snowboarder whose quest for happiness takes us places other snowboarding movies never go.
 
From riding rooftops in British Columbia to surfing in South America, from halfpipe glory to backcountry first descents, Craig Kelly was a dominating competitor and icon of big mountain riding. But he was also the forerunner of a new way thinking about winning, about nature and about life.
 
With footage shot over 15 years, Director Jacques Russo masterfully captures the spirit, skill and energy that defined Craig Kelly’s life and won him countless World Cup, World Championship and US Open titles.  Add compelling narration from Metallica frontman James Hetfield, and you have a contemporary movie that is also the definitive historical look at the roots of extreme snowsports culture.
 
Be ready to laugh, cry and cheer as snowboarding’s original captain sets you on the journey of a lifetime – from first place to a place in the heart.
